Health of OSS communities

Why focus on communities? Current research shows that Most OSS products do not have one Many are supported or controlled by companies We care about Organizations Software integrators Communities may Lead to spin-offs Enable collaboration between organizations

Current research shows that

Most OSS products do not have one

Many are supported or controlled by companies

We care about

Organizations

Software integrators

Communities may

Lead to spin-offs

Enable collaboration between organizations

Our focus From a system integrator view Systems consist of parts from a network of 3. party providers These are frequently OSS How to assess and influence sustainability Risk management Longevity and sustainable support Stability vs. defect fixes vs. new features Participation/influence vs. responsibility towards provider

From a system integrator view

Systems consist of parts from a network of 3. party providers

These are frequently OSS

How to assess and influence sustainability

Risk management

Longevity and sustainable support

Stability vs. defect fixes vs. new features

Participation/influence vs. responsibility towards provider

Maintenance of OSS based systems Research proposal focusing on Maintenance and sustainability Integrated systems Network of 3.party providers including OSS Objectives Understand current build/maintenance practices and problems Explore possible improvements to these practices Other proposals Classification, selection, and integration of OSS
